Your credit debt relief options.

There are lots of ways to manage your bills and loans to find credit debt relief, and some are more effective than others. Professional debt counselors can help you determine which option is likely to be most effective, based on your financial situation and goals. Credit counselors can also help you create a get out of debt plan that works with your income and budget.

Benefits of credit debt relief through a debt management program.

One of the most effective ways of achieving credit debt relief is with a debt management program. Under this option, you’ll consolidate all of your monthly bill payments and write just one check each month to ACCC. We’ll use that money to pay all your creditors on your behalf, making your financial life much simpler and less stressful. That also allows us to make sure your bills are paid on time to help avoid additional charges and fees. And we’ll contact all your creditors to seek reductions in interest rates and monthly payments, and to re-age your accounts so that they no longer are considered overdue.

The result of this kind of consolidated debt relief is that you can pay off your debt faster – usually within 60 months or less – while improving your credit score and developing the habits that will help you to live debt-free in the future.
